Punting at the end of a half is a bad idea

[Panthers128]

Especially if you are at midfield. Three things can happen here:

-Excellent punt return resulting in a TD or FG position

-Blocked punt resulting in a TD or FG position

-Faircatch or Short return.

Why risk it? Only 13 seconds left, you could do the hailmary or just run around in circles for 13 seconds.

Also if you do punt, you should take the cheap shot and lay the punt returner out so he can't return it. Dante Wesley style.

or, while attempting the hail mary which is very unlikely to take all 13 seconds, Cam could be sacked and fumble and the return could be taken half the field for a touchdown. or, Cam could just be sacked with 5 seconds left on the clock and the Packers have the ball roughly at their 40 for their own chance for a hail mary.

punting was the correct decision

[Jangler]

The punt was smart. Not playing for the FG was the mistake.

[KillerKat]

Yes and give GB the ball on their own side of the 50 with all 3 TOs! That's a smart plan right there!

we're going full tilt with the superbowl champions anyway with a rookie QB in only his second pro start

Conservative, but it's the right call.
